Michael Moore’s newest film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” tackles the massive issue of America’s unprecedented, complex economic events and turmoil that occurred over the past year. But in comparison to his other films, Moore may have had the easiest time making it.

Prior to his film’s screening at the AFI Theatre in Silver Spring Monday night, Moore sat down with POLITICO. He told us, “I’ve had more requests from members of Congress to get a copy of the film. … If millions of people in this country go to see this movie, [Congress] wants to know what [the public’s] really looking at, especially if it affects them.”

Tuesday night is the official D.C. screening. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Rep Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) — as well as Reps. Eli Cummings (D-Md.) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who appear in the film — are set to attend.

Unlike the footage of politicians running from him in “Fahrenheit 9/11,” members, including Cummings, Kaptur and Rep. Baron Hill (D-Ind.), talked with Moore about the pressure they were under to pass the bailout.

Moore said he was “very pleased with the support” he’s received from members of both parties, especially Republicans who’ve “realized by now that they’d been had.”

Moore, who openly expressed he “loves” President Obama and is “filled with a lot of optimism,” said his agent, Ari Emanuel (brother to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel), called him while shooting to say that the filmmaker may get his first White House screening.

“We wouldn’t be doing our job if we were being invited to the White House. … If they asked us to come over and show them the film, you know, I would do that. I’d bring the popcorn and the goobers and all that,” Moore said. “I remember hanging up and telling the crew, ‘Ari just said we might get our first White House screening. Let’s make sure we make this film so that it’s not invited to the White House.’”

Watch the above video to hear what Moore had to say about why the White House kept Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers in the administration, why he doesn’t Google, why everyone needs to turn off “Dancing with the Stars,” and why he got kicked off as guest anchor on CNBC’s Power Lunch Monday.

I really liked what Michael Moore had to say in the clip. However, I am not against capitalism, as such. I am against these bailouts and the fact that if these companies are too big to fail, why haven't they been broken up? Let's face it. In the USA, most of these big businesses aren't really subject to true capitialism (sink or swim) but the average person in the USA is...
